London-based Isometric has closed a €34 million ($40 million) Series A funding round led by AVP. The startup develops AI agents that work alongside human verifiers to automate industrial certification processes.
The company's platform targets the €305 billion industrial certification market, where manual verification remains slow and error-prone. By combining AI with human oversight, Isometric aims to accelerate compliance checks across manufacturing and infrastructure sectors.
The fresh capital will fuel expansion of its technology and workforce. The round's lead investor AVP has a track record of backing deep-tech startups in regulated industries.
For industries like energy and aerospace, faster certification could reduce project delays and operational costs. However, regulatory acceptance of AI-assisted verification varies by jurisdiction, which may slow adoption.
A potential risk is that human verifiers may resist co-working with AI agents, especially in safety-critical domains where liability concerns are paramount.
